When a CA small claims judgment is set for a specific amount, can the party who won tack on more fees later?
My question is when a small claims judgment is set for a specific amount, can later on the party who won the judgment tack on 2500.00 more due for fee’s, etc…?
If you have an owed balance upon moving out of a rental property and the property mgmt files a small claims case for a specific amount (ex. 2000.00) which includes what you owe plus attorney fee’s and the court orders a judgment against you for that amount….. Then a collection agency gets a hold of your account to collect and they state that your owed balance is way more than what was originally filed (ex. 4500.00) is that legal?
I understand that an additional amount would be due for interest or agency fee’s but 2500.00 more is not close to being accurate for interest of agency fee’s…..

The debtor is responsible for the original judgment amount, including court fees and interest but nothing else.
